People who travel a lot often complain about jet lag. However, there may be a way to quickly adjust. First, just realize that you sleep 1 hour for every 2 hours that you're awake. In a 24 day period, you're asleep for 8 hours. Using that ration, supposing that you had a 3 hour day--then you would need to sleep for 1 hour. If you fly from Boston to Los Angeles, you'll gain 3 hours and have a 27 hour day. Therefore, you need one extra hour of sleep (9 hours total) and then you should be on track. If you fly from Indianapolis to Taiwan, you'll gain 12 hours, so you need to sleep for 16.
For longer flights (like Indianapolis to Taiwan) it might be difficult to remember how many hours you've slept or been awake. Perhaps it would be helpful to create an app where you type in the hours you are awake or sleep, and it tells you how many hours you should stay awake or sleep.
